How do I asure that my shirt design is protected? -

I have a design for a t-shirt with a slogan. How do I assure that my design and slogan is protected (from t-shirt design and logo steeling thieves) before I start to market it?

Do a Poor man s Patent . Take photos of the design and FedEx them to yourself. Do not open unless there s a need to (ie. lawsuit, etc.).The shipping date of the package shows when you came up with the design and can prove that it was your idea first.
